Ahmadinejad in New York

America’s favorite megalomaniacal thug, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, was back in town yesterday to deliver a preview of what is expected to be a blistering anti-Western diatribe before the United Nations. Tuesday, Tehran’s despot wasted no time hectoring the West about the evils of capitalism and its “unjust government structures.” Ahmadinejad is something of an expert on unjust government structures, considering he has been “elected” in two very controversial “elections” and is the head of state of a misogynist, fanatical, repressive theocracy. The fact that the UN continues to provide a forum for dictators like Ahmadinejad further undermines whatever remains of that body’s credibility. The Iranian leader’s rants always evoke cheers from fellow tyrants who use the United Nations to alternately denounce the West and plead for more aid, but for the rest of the world, Ahmadinejad’s harangues grow ever more tiresome.

Were it not for the fact that Iran is both hellbent on destroying Israel and is moving ever closer to developing the nuclear means to accomplish that goal, it would be easy to dismiss the nation’s president as a joke. As it stands, the world has good reason to worry about Ahmadinejad, but those fears should provide all the more reason to deny him access to a forum that lends an air of legitimacy. Sadly, that has not been the case.

Ahmadinejad blamed those “unjust government structures” and “transnational corporations” for the world’s woes, declaring that capitalism is on death’s door. Yet, one cannot help but wonder how many of his abused, impoverished countrymen yearn for a bit of capitalism today. The Islamofascist regime that the Ayatollah Khoemeni founded thirty-one years ago hasn’t exactly created the paradise on earth that the mullahs promised. Except in the case of the mullahs and their hired hands, of course. Iran should be awash in petro-dollars. Instead, Iran’s leaders have squandered billions upon billions to develop nuclear weapons while millions of Iranians wallow in poverty and despair. No rational person in the civilized world believes that a country floating atop as much cheap, readily accessible crude oil as Iran would find nuclear energy economically desirable. Ahmadinejad knows that, but the lie that Iran needs nuclear energy to survive rolls as shamelessly off his tongue as do all his other mistruths.

Thank you Robert. I did not know this! I heard of the basij a few weeks ago and simply did not believe the story to be true. It is too despicable for words. Thus I researched and yes, unfortunately it is true. To do this to young boys. They willingly went to their deaths wearing a plastic key around their necks and were often used to run into a field to clear it of landmines. Unbelievably cruel. But I did not know I'madinnerjacket had been one. No wonder he looks stunted, both in growth and emotion.

Le Marqui

BERTRAND RUSSELL was 20th century's FIRST-RANK MATHEMATICIAN, PHILOSOPHER, HISTORIAN, and SOCIAL ACTIVIST. He was even jailed for promoting RATIONALITY and SKEPTICISM.

The following are some parts from his essay written in 1970 titled "On Israel and Bombing"

Israel has expanded by force of arms. After every stage in this expansion Israel has appealed to "reason" and has suggested "negotiations". This is the traditional role of the IMPERIAL POWER, because it wishes to consolidate with the least difficulty what it has already taken by violence. The aggression committed by Israel must be condemned, not only because no state has the right to annexe foreign territory, but because every expansion is an experiment to discover how much more aggression the world will tolerate.

The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was "given" by a foreign Power to another people for the creation of a new State. How much longer is the world willing to endure this spectacle of wanton cruelty? It is abundantly clear that THE REFUGEES HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO THE HOMELAND FROM WHICH THEY WERE DRIVEN, AND THE DENIAL OF THIS RIGHT IS AT THE HEART OF THE CONTINUING CONFLICT. No people anywhere in the world would accept being expelled en masse from their own country. How can anyone require the people of Palestine to accept a punishment which nobody else would tolerate?

We are frequently told that "we must sympathize with Israel because of the suffering of the Jews in Europe at the hands of the Nazis." What Israel is doing today cannot be condoned, and TO INVOKE THE HORRORS OF THE PAST TO JUSTIFY THOSE OF THE PRESENT IS GROSS HYPOCRISY.

I do not recall that Bertrand Russell was anointed to lecture or define the Jewish Nation. The LAND limits of Eretz Israel are those duly recorded in teh Bible and will be. Point. New paragraph.
Yo see Le Marqui, the fact thae European deviants invaded, raped enslaved and destroyed our Icons does not mean that the destructors r their assignees have ANY rights whatever.
My family, the Barcan's, or Barkan haild for the are of Barkan Mountain and were officers of the Imperial Army of King Solomon.
We then defended the Land passes being as usual raided by the nomads.
The purported Arabs that today claim rights here. (The real philistines" were from Greece.)
Not then or now they will assume lAnd or rights in Eretz Israel.
BTW> Several times teh garbage tried to attack and were defeated since 1948.
The nest attempt will end their sequel…

The whole of the Middle-East's political boundaries were created by the European powers. This includes Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iraq, Iran, etc. Most of the Muslims living in Israel or nearby migrated there from their impoverished lands. Arafat was born in Egypt.

The only reason the Muslims refuse to recognize Israel is their book rails against Jews calling apes and pigs and demands their murder.

Get your facts straight Marqui.

The Muslims want either your submission to Islam, degradation through the Jitza, or your murder.

Le Marqui

Please read Ilan Pappe's book "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine" and also Finkelstein's "Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict"

http://logistory.blogspot.com/ noway2no

There is and never has been a "Palestine" as defined by the modern notion of a nation state. Any argument with the idea that there is or has been such is null at the outset.

Sorry. when a premise is wrong so is the conclusion.

MixMChess

Ilan Pappe has been exposed and discredited as a Marxist historian (oxymoron, I know) who puts ideology above historical facts. Pappe openly admits that he is not objective and fabricates "history" to fit into his own narrow ideology and views. If you read and believe Pappe than I have a great investment opportunity for you on a bridge in New York city…http://www.camera.org/index.asp?x_print=1&x_c…

Finkelstein is a straight-up Holocaust denier and a demented individual. He's been fired by every University that he's worked for and suffers from legitimate psychological disorders:http://www.campus-watch.org/article/id/3487

Telling me to read leftist text, and I have read many, does not refute my claim regarding the Qu'ran and hadiths. Try reading these text, and Muslim religious leaders rhetoric for insight.

MixMChess

Bertrand Russell was a neo-socialist and pacifist (even when it came to war against Hitler) and a champion of the new left. Framed by those ideologies his philosophies are best adolescent.

"Israel has expanded by force of arms."

Wrong, Israel was built by Jews on LEGALLY PURCHASED, VACANT and TENANT-FREE land. The war of 1948 and 1967 were both DEFENSIVE Wars to repel invading Arab armies looking to commit genocide against the Israelis.

"The aggression committed by Israel must be condemned, not only because no state has the right to annexe foreign territory, but because every expansion is an experiment to discover how much more aggression the world will tolerate."

Tell that to the Arabs! Additionally, it is moral and completely legal for a state to annex foreign territory when it wins a defensive war. This serves to punish the aggressor and provide an incentive for peace.

"The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was "given" by a foreign Power to another people for the creation of a new State."

Again, Israel has and always will be the land of the Jews. The early Zionist simply repurchased back their own land that was stolen by Arab invaders. No foreign powers "gave" Israel to the Jews. The Zionists were well on their way to establishing a state, the supposed "foreign powers" merely consented to the reality on the ground.

"THE REFUGEES HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO THE HOMELAND FROM WHICH THEY WERE DRIVEN, AND THE DENIAL OF THIS RIGHT IS AT THE HEART OF THE CONTINUING CONFLICT. No people anywhere in the world would accept being expelled en masse from their own country."

Exactly, even more reason for the Jews to return to their homeland of Israel after they were driven out and expelled by prior invading Arab armies. The so-called Palestinians are even newer to Israel having arrived from other parts of the Arab world after the zionists raised the standard of living and provided economic opportunities. The Palestinians are free to return to their original homelands in the surrounding Arab countries.

"We are frequently told that "we must sympathize with Israel because of the suffering of the Jews in Europe at the hands of the Nazis." What Israel is doing today cannot be condoned, and TO INVOKE THE HORRORS OF THE PAST TO JUSTIFY THOSE OF THE PRESENT IS GROSS HYPOCRISY. "

No one says that, Israel was created despite the Holocaust not in spite of it. Israel was a reality and an inevitability well before the horrors of the Holocaust, plain and simple – it would have been created with or without it.

MixMChess

Mr. Russell was a neo-socialist and champion of the new left and at best a quasi-philosopher. I take his positions on historical fact with a grain of salt.

"Israel has expanded by force of arms."

Wrong. Israel was built on LEGALLY purchased, VACANT and TENANT-FREE land. The wars in 1948 and 1967 were DEFENSIVE wars to prevent genocide and annihilation of the Jewish state by marauding Arab states.

"The aggression committed by Israel must be condemned, not only because no state has the right to annexe foreign territory, but because every expansion is an experiment to discover how much more aggression the world will tolerate."

Wrong again… Israel has a legal and moral right to annex territory seized in a DEFENSIVE war. It is legal under international law and it is moral in order to punish and provide as a disincentive to aggressor nations. Annexing territory serves as a strong consequence to encourage nations to seek peace rather than war. Too bad the Arab nations never figured this out and continue to whine about being beaten back by tiny little Israel.

WHY IRAN MUST GET NUCLEAR WEAPONS:
Iran must get nuclear weapons. It must start flexing it’s nuclear muscles and when that reaches a tipping point the field will be equal and war will be justified. Right now leveling iran would be foolish because then the islamic excuse would be they weren’t ready and garner pity. Not going to let that happen.
Let iran start something and then watch what happens. The mushroom clouds will be so big all muslims will be able to see and meet their evil allah in a flash from all over the world. Do not under-estimate the wrath of the common non-muslim people on the planet. Muslims all over the planet will be hunted down and told to either get out of islam or die and meet their evil-allah post haste. This is not some day-dream .this will actually happen when iran and saudi arabia and Libya and all these islamic countries stop funding islamic insurgencies because their source of income is shut down by a war they have started and foolishly do not know how to end. Islam is not known for it’s logic. When the petrol money taps are shut down non muslims will be unforgiving in the bite back to islam. This will happen.

muslimpoxbyebye

WHY IRAN MUST GET NUCLEAR WEAPONS: 2
Too many non-muslims will take the law into their own hands and will do what needs to be done. Islam will be on the run but will be hunted down and expunged from the planet. For this to happen iran has to have nuclear weapons first. When everything is in place their reactors will be their deaths in the millions. but the real clean-up will start outside Iran. Europe and Russia will lead the west and India and Australia will do the floor-wipe and all small islands and china will do it too. Right now there are muslims gathering in south America. let them gather. south Americans are merciless. they might be drug lords but they know evil is amongst them and will expunge it.
This planet is fed up of this evil islamic nonsense cult.
Hence Iran has to get nuclear weapons !!!

The dirtiest and filthiest stone in the world is in mecca.
The faster we get rid of islam the better it is for all of us . Think of all the money we'll save..
A group of muslims is called “a fester of muslims.”.. I predict that within a 100 years there will be no mosques left in this world and there will be no islam on the planet because saudi arabia and the muslim countries will be wiped out by the anger of the rest of the planet's non muslim people. Islam is in it's death swirl. but it is dying with a lot of blood and shouts. but it is definitely dying.. The mask of religion it has been hiding behind will soon be lifted off by the courts around the world.. People including muslims who actually think out of the box of islam are starting to see islam for what it is. Islam is a robber cult started by a women-hating mass murderer and a legendary pedophile amongst other things. Islam's days are numbered..

Hmmm… Muhammad beat his wives, and the Koran calls for husbands to beat their "uncontrollable" wives, and wife beating is part of Shariah.

Sadly Le Marqui does not know the history of Palestine, except to quote from Bertrand Russell. There were as many Jews dislodged from Arabic countries as there were those from Palestine – and these fled as the request of the Arabs who sought to conquer Israel. Those who stayed became citizens of Israel and, unlike Jews in some Arab countries, were given the right to vote.

aspacia

More Jews were expelled from Arab lands, than Muslims from Israel. Why no talk regarding compensation for Jews? What about the crimes against Jews for thousands of years. I am disgusted with the hypocrisy of so many antiJewish hypocrites.

Le Marqui

Have you read these books?:
'The Invention of the Jewish People' by Professor Shlomo Sand.
'The Bible & Zionism' by Nur Masalha

MixMChess

Have you read Israel Bartal's response to Prof. Sand where he calls Sand's treatment of sources as "embarrassing and humiliating?" Have you read
Newsweek article "The DNA Of Abraham's Children" which demolishes through genetic analysis Sand's invented thesis?

As for Nur Masalha, he is a Fakestinian ideologue. Even noted "new historian" Benny Morris has proven this joker wrong on every one of his premises.

Keep swallowing the Pali-Nazi propaganda.

Thank you, Muslimpoxbyebye for your impassioned projection. I pray I'll still be around when it happens. I'm not sure it will happen as you predict but it WILL happen because 9/11 and Petrodollars have provided Islam with a programmed madness that will keekp them pushing and pushing until we all push back in one huge and ugly swoop.

And thank you, Le Marqui for a demonstration of a muddled, sick mind in action. The subject was Ahmadinejad not some pathetic, British antisemite. Getting back on subject, oddly I cannot develop as much deep contempt for Ahmadinejad as I have for Rauf of the ground zero mosque and his supporters. Ahmadinejad is merely a puppet, tapdancing and crooning to please King Evil the Ayatollah and he is open about it. Rauf of Stealth Jihad is totally contemptible. And Badaboo, I like your idea of arresting Ahmadinejab and holding him until the two Americans are released.

Le Marqui

Israel is getting desperate to sell this new war for Americans to be killed and crippled in.
Here is a recap of what they are trying to make you forget.
1. Last Spring, Rose Gottemoeller, an assistant secretary of state and Washington's chief nuclear arms negotiator, asked Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Israel refused.
2. The United Nations passed a resolution calling on Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to submit to inspections. Israel refused.
3. The IAEA asked Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to submit to inspections. Israel refused.
4. Iran's formal notification to the IAEA of the planned construction of the backup fuel-rod facility underscores that Iran is playing by the rules of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty which Iran has signed.
5. Iran allows IAEA inspections of all its facilities.
6. Contrary to face-saving claims, it appears that the US and Israel were both caught off guard by Iran's announcement. The reasoning is simple. Had the US or Israel announced the existence of he new facility before Iran's notified the IAEA, it would have put Iran on the defensive. As it is now, the US and Israel seem to be playing catch up, casting doubt on the veracity of Israel's claims to "know" that Iran is a nuclear threat.
7. The IAEA and all 16 United States Intelligence Agencies are unanimous in agreement that Iran is not building and does not possess nuclear weapons.
8. In 1986, Mordachai Vanunu blew the whistle and provided photographs showing Israel's clandestine nuclear weapons factory underneath the reactor at Dimona.
9. Israel made the same accusations against Iraq that it is making against Iran, leading up to Israel's bombing of the power station at Osirik. Following the invasion of 2003, international experts examined the ruins of the power station at Osirik and found no evidence of a clandestine weapons factory in the rubble.
10. The United Nations has just released the Goldstone Report, a scathing report which accuses Israel of 37 specific war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza earlier this year. Israel has denounced the report as "Anti-Semitic (even though Judge Goldstone is himself Jewish), and the United States will block the report from being referred to the War Crimes Tribunal at the Hague, thereby making the US Government an accessory after-the-fact.
We all need to be Joe Wilson right now. We need to stand up and scream, "LIAR!" at every politician and every talking media moron that is pushing this war in Iran. And we need to keep dong it until they get the message that we will not be deceived any more.
Israel wants to send your kids off to die in Iran, and YOU are the only one that can stop them.

Iranians can sign anything they like. If you believe a word of anything that they say you are a fool. Muslims will lie through thier teeth. You can quote anything you like, defame Israel and accuse them of "war crimes" if you want. Your argument is based on rationality, not a trait that Muslims value very much. I also think you are an anti-semite of the first order, albeit a "rational" one who quotes much but understands very little of reality.

If you like Iran and Iranians so much go and live there. When, or if you come back perhaps you could tell us your impressions.

In the meantime keep up your "rational" anti-semitism. Quasi intelectuals like you make me vomit.

The jew hateing fools will in the end game be murdered by the little muslim rats who are in many ways in control of many of our own people and this political system by using people to murder each other, long live freedom.

The Muslim is evil at work and will do anything to attack freedom and laws and will in this coming war of freedom loving people against the new black age of murder and rape and total evil use many for evil.

I hope you do vomit. May be this will help you to get rid of the poison in you. When one has full bile it affects his/her thinking. You are not a robot.
Perhaps it is you who needs to visit Iran and see things first hand instead of depending on reading newspapers. I have been there and I saw very nice people. There may be evil people in Iran but so are these everywhere.
Hitler was a Christian and not Muslim. The Inquisition was commissioned by the Pope. It was the Muslims who embraced and welcomed Jews. Please read history with clear conscience and a sober mind.
Please read this article written by a great Jew who uses his intellect to judge and not a spiteful heart full of venom. Read what Uri Avnery writes. I love him as a brother in humanity. http://peoplesgeography.com/2006/09/25/uri-avnery…

"Perhaps it is you who needs to visit Iran and see things first hand instead of depending on reading newspapers. I have been there and I saw very nice people."

And I am sure you think the Mullahs and Ahmadinejad are those "nice people" because they promise to eradicate the Jews.

"Hitler was a Christian and not Muslim."

Wrong, Hitler renounced Christianity and was an occultist. But, Hitlers good friend was a muslim, the Grand Mufti of Jeruslam. Of course the Mufti MADE Hitler PROMISE to build death camps in Israel to murder all of the Jews in the region.

All the good tools of freedom, its not a war its a fight for Freedom against evil. The muslim is evil and is hell that is what the muslim is all about total rape and total evil.
If we as a people do not remove evil once and for all time we will be removed by the evil one of hell but in the end game God will rule over all people and all who stand with the muslim of hell will see hell in the face for all time.

Have you actually read the Koran ? In fact have you understood anything that has been going on recently in regards to the Muslims. Have you done any real research into thier motives, understood thier culture (such as it is) have you no comphrension at all ? The coming war will be a clash of an anti-culture with a regressive, paranoid attitude with a culture that for all its faults is far preferable.

Your aggressive anti-Israel/Jewish commentaries lack a certain finesse. At least the MSM keep things within certain bounds. If Israel falls, then we in the West cannot expect any lessening of tensions with Islam. Quite the contrary, this will embolden them further. Luckily we have a resurgent right wing in Europe who have the savvy to see exactly what is going on.

I think you would be wise to look at what is going on in Michigan as an exemplar of the the Religion Of Peace. Or perhaps you would like to see a triumphalist Mosque dominating the site of 9/11.

I really see no point in talking to Quislings like you. Go away and talk with your fashionable Fascist friends.

http://logistory.blogspot.com/ noway2no

Your historical references are only useful if they are used in a logical fashion.

Try this:

#1
There have been and continue to be evil deeds
People(s) perpetrated these deeds
People(s) can be evil

#2
Evil people(s) are defined by their deeds
Evil deeds are a threat to others
Evil people(s) are a threat

#3
Currently evil deeds around the world are often the product of Muslims
I am one of the “others”
Muslims are a threat to me

See how easy it is. Just remove your bias and deal with facts.

Now as I said before to deny an obvious threat is delusional. I will also add that it is dangerous to “others” therefore you are a threat as well.

MixMChess

Liar. Israel is not interested in getting the US involved in Iran. Israel simply wants the green light to do what it needs to defend itself against a violent and belligerent Iranian regime that has threatened Israel and the Jewish people on multiple occasions.

MixMChess

This is just posted from a vehemently antisemetic and anti-Israel website known as whatreallyhappened.com.

The fact is, Iran has made numerous threats to eradicate the Jewish state and commit genocide on the Jewish people. Israel does not want the US involved in a war with Iran. Don't forget it was Israel that advised the US against invading Iraq. Israel has every right to defend itself against the Islamic Bloc and threatening countries like Iran.

Network Marketing is a funny industry that's simultaneously full of almost religious network marketing training dogma, but at the same time – it's got some of the most brilliant marketing tactics in the entire world of business. When you're first getting started out in this industry, you could luck out and have a sponsor that knows how to train you in modern day tactics, or you could be sponsored by someone that has never created any kind of real wealth in their entire life.

Many people who begin a network marketing business forget the importance of the word 'network'. The path to success in this business model is to build a sales organisation and you receive commissions for referring people to the business opportunity. There are different terms for this role but the one that is widely understood is Sponsor. You are sponsoring people into the business opportunity.

Most network marketers quit, except for the leaders, who start looking for additional training and education. Hungry for success, members of the latter group end up easy prey for the current network marketing training scams.

Unfortunately, most MLM companies' network marketing training programs consist of barely motivational meetings on conference calls. Most mlm companies fail to teach their distributors the basics of marketing and communications skills. This is considered one of the major reasons for the high rate of failure in multi-level marketing programs.

There are many things to take into consideration when trying to find out what is the best network marketing company. While some people may consider their company the best because they have a great pay plan, others might consider theirs the best because their company made the most money last year. Some people might say they have the best MLM company because they have the tastiest products, while others will say that their company is the best, simple because they were told to say that and they are really looking for a mlm business opportunities

lastly The best network marketing company for you is one that has several characteristics. Having said that not all companies in the network marketing industry can be the best. That doesn't mean the rest are bad. It just means that to be the best for you a network marketing company must have the 4 elements Which I reveal to you.
